In the student portion of the Scheduler application, students are allowed to submit feedback to the schedule admin on currently generated schedules. Submitting student feedback is discussed in more detail in section 2.7.8. The schedule admin can review this feedback to make further refinements for the generated schedule. This scenario depicts the schedule admin viewing student feedback for the currently opened schedule. It is assumed that for the currently opened schedule, multiple feedback entries have already been submitted by various students.
The user begins selecting "View Student Feedback" in the view menu from the Administrator UI. The system responds by displaying the following window as shown in figure 2.2.5.1:

The "Course Number" combo box is enabled after a department has been selected, and contains course numbers corresponding to the submitted student feedback of the selected department. On the left most portion of the window is a list box of feedback entries which display the first seven characters of each entry filtered by the combo boxes.
